Here's a comment: Repairing the keyboard is probably a good idea.

Having the same problem quite often (many Macs at work), some Macs do not seem to accept startup modifiers from the aluminium keyboards, though I haven´t exactly pin-pointed the problem. Is there a Firmware update available for either you Mac or your Keyboard?

Problem not solved but is not critical. Thanks for your comment, Asmus.

Unless I'm missing something, there is no issue with either keyboard. iMacs with Intel Core Duos and G4/G5 machines need that old school keyboard for it to be recognized before the OS is loaded. I've tested this on several Macs including Snow Leopard OS's.
